It's one thing to bring something yummy to your July 4th gathering, but it's another thing to bring something that's yummy AND looks very cool. They'll think it took you hours to figure this out. But your secret is safe with me!

The first thing you need to do is buy a new pail and shovel--or two, depending on the size of the crowd you'll be wowing.

Then you'll need a list of ingredients that you will use to create magic.

Finally, you'll put it all together into the pail, along with the shovel, and everyone will think you've lost your mind by bringing a pail of sand to the picnic. Until they dig in.

It looks great and the kids will love it too. Everything you need to know and see is here. Let me know how it turns out!
